Safety-conscious companies celebrated at Australasian Brake Fleet Safety Awards

17 September 2019

Companies have been honoured for working hard to reduce road crashes involving at-work drivers during Brake’s fifth annual Australasian Fleet Safety Awards.

The awards, sponsored by the NZ Transport Agency, recognise companies and individuals who have implemented successful initiatives, products or services to tackle fleet safety. The winners were announced at the awards ceremony and dinner, held on Thursday 12 September in Auckland, New Zealand. Individual awards were sponsored by Bridgestone, McFall Fuel, SurePlan and Suzuki.

The awards are held annually and are part of Brake’s Global Fleet Champions initiative, a global partnership campaign to prevent crashes and reduce pollution by vehicles used for work purposes.

There were five categories of awards for organisations. Two individual awards were also presented to fleet professionals: the Road Risk Manager Award went to Fauzia Ali from Johnson Controls; and the prestigious Outstanding Commitment to Road Safety Award was awarded to Chris L’Ecluse from Teletrac Navman.

Caroline Perry, Brake’s NZ Director, says: “We are delighted to have run our fifth Fleet Safety Awards, celebrating the achievements of companies and individuals who are striving to make a real difference in the world of fleet safety. Congratulations to all the award winners and highly commended entrants for their impressive work reducing incidents involving at-work drivers and vehicles.”

NZ Transport Agency Safety, Health and Environment General Manager, Greg Lazzaro says: “Many New Zealanders spend a significant amount of time driving for work, and tragically road crashes are a leading cause of work-related deaths, both here and overseas. So we applaud these companies for the important work they are doing to reduce incidents and improve their fleet safety. We’re delighted to once again support the Brake Fleet Safety Awards and we congratulate this year’s winner of the Outstanding Commitment to Road Safety Award, Chris L’Ecluse.”
